Vo A 2. Two blocks are on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Block A is moving with an initial velocity of vo toward block B, which is stationary, as shown above. The two blocks collide, stick together, and move off with a velocity of vo/3. Which block, if either, has the greater mass? (A) Block A (B) Block B (C) Neither; their masses are the same. (D) The answer cannot be determined without knowing the mass of one of the blocks. B.
